A 23-year-old Indian has died after he was shot during an armed robbery in Chicago, according to a media report on Tuesday.
Devsish Nandepu was shot during an armed robbery Sunday night in Princeton Park on the South Side, Chicago police said on Tuesday morning.
He succumbed to his injuries, a report in ABC7 Eyewitness News said.

Nandepu and another 22-year-old were near a parking lot about 6:55 p.m. Sunday when a dark-coloured vehicle approached them. Two occupants from the vehicle held them at gunpoint and demanded valuables from them.
Nandepu and his friend complied and were shot, officials said.
The younger man was struck in the chest and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was in critical condition, police said.
No arrests have been made in the case so far.
